Brien and all, There's very little standardization between and among the states on this. Many offer "full faith and credit" (and reciprocity) to "foreign" registration and licensure until the out-of-state registration or license expire; my state requires re-registration in-state within 30 days of "establishing residence" here. As a student, I drove around in Tennessee for three years with my Oregon driver's license and plates, but once I got caught, I got hit with a court order (but they waived the fine). It's often all about the revenue.

I was able to keep my original black and yellow plates so those will not be removed! Although I still own a home in San Diego and plan to use that address as my registration. I don't know what the laws are here in Utah about keeping the CA plates. The fact that I'm a student of sorts will also help because I plan on keeping my CA DL as well. Brien 67 Standard - Subject: [vintagvw] Antique plates Volks, My state (Tennessee) has changed the law regarding antique-car license plates. It's a step in the right direction. They allow any antique (25+ year old) car to display old license plates from "about" the date of manufacture or original use of the car, and permit the driver to keep the current-issued Antique Vehicle tag inside the car, like, under the seat. But there's a minor catch: The law here does not allow old out-of-state license plates, or foreign tags. Do any of you live in states that DO permit displaying (only) foreign or out-of-state license plates? I'd like to get our state law changed to permit that, and I'd like to find a suitable model statute to propose here.
